How to remove the html elements that are displaying once the test cases are finished
Please find the below image
Depends on if you want to effectively 'hide' it, or actually delete it from the client's local code. Here's an example if just hiding it is fine:
document.getElementById('hideThisElement').style.display = 'none';
Otherwise you can actually delete it doing this:
document.getElementById('hideThisElement').remove();

i have a function and event listener and inside them there are other functions and event listeners and so on.
it works fine but for example if i want to change only the last element the code doesn't work (it doesn't throw any error or anything just straight up does nothing)
bear in mind that i want to get the last element of a <ul> that's being created in DOM by javascript
for example
function fonter () {
text.style.fontSize = "20px";
text.style.fontFamily="cursive";
}
font.addEventListener("click" , fonter);
this works perfectly fine but the problem is it changes the font of every element
but for example if i change it to
text.lastChild.style.fontSize = "20px";
it does nothing. have it in mind that if i console log text.lastChild it shows the last child.
so 2 questions here . why doesn't this work even thou when i console log it , it shows up , and 2nd what's the best way to change like style or innertext or ... of last child in DOM? thanks
thanks
I want to make sure that all JavaScript happens before the page is loaded. I am changing some innerhtml, but don't want the original innerhtml to show.
Currently, when my page loads "Books" is displayed for a brief moment, then finally when the script is read, it gets replaced. How do I prevent it from displaying the initial text?
FYI the script exists inside a php file.
<?php
?>
<script>
function changeme(){
var myvar = "test-string-is-long-to-notice-the-changed-text";
var spans = document.getElementsByTagName("span");
for(var i=0;i<spans.length; i++) {
if(spans[i].textContent.trim().toLowerCase()==="books") { //is this the "Welcome" span?
spans[i].innerHTML = myvar; //change to new value
break; //hop out of the loop, we're done
}
}
}
window.onload = function() {
changeme();
};
</script>
It is not a good idea to load JS before HTML, because you can not change the HTML elements before loading it using js.
Solution 1: Initially, keep the html tags empty that you do not want to show, because you want to show new data from JS.
Solution 2: Initially, keep the styles for those elements "display: none" and when you add the data using Js in element. Update the style to display: 'block' or any other you want, eg spans[i].style.display = 'block';.
You cant apply JS to a html document that doesnt yet exist. Your html is always loaded first, then your JS is applied. What you could be seeing here is the html is loaded and the JS is taking like what--a second to load and make the change? I recommend figuring out a more efficient way to implement the JS you need. You could just be seeing JS latency. You could use a more efficient implementation plus some CSS to fix it. I could be wrong here but it just doesn't make sense to apply JS to html went the html isnt even there yet.
How would I apply any JS to that if I'm trying to do it before the browser has even parsed and rendered my html?
Also remember that PHP is always "loaded" first, then html, then JS
On the surface this should be easy:
CKEDITOR.instances[Object.keys(CKEDITOR.instances)[0]].insertHtml( html );
...where html is a string of an actual HTML tag. Sadly, however, this doesn't work. When I click the button on my page that calls this code, nothing happens. It doesn't appear anywhere in the document at all, not even in Source mode.
I tried using insertElement:
var element = CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml( html );
CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.insertElement( element );
...and all it did was stick a little red flag in the document that was nothing; if I saved the document and reloaded it, it was gone.
The goal is to insert:
<a name="something"></a>
But the only thing that works is insertText() and that turns it into "safe" text, i.e. the < and > turn into lt; and gt;.
Help please? :)
I guess you used the code from the CKEDITOR Documentation (https://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.editor-method-insertElement)
You probably ran into an issue, which says, that empty anchors show
a little red flag in the editor
(https://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/14689). Unfortunately there seems to
be no way of CKEDITOR from doing this.
Empty Links are removed from
CKEDITOR automatically. You can add data-cke-survive="true" so these
links aren't removed,

I am using jQuery to append elements to a div, and all works fine.
var new_div = $('<div>My stuff</div>');
new_div.appendTo("#container");
However, I'd like the div to appear by fading in, instead of abruptly.
I notice though that I get an error when I try to access graphic properties on my dynamically generated element. So this, for example fails:
new_div.hide().fadeIn();
The console reports the following error:
TypeError: jQuery.curCSS is not a function
Do I understand this correctly, that this fails because current css properties are not defined for the dynamically generated element? Or what else can be goingg wrong?
Important edit
Additional checking and working on this pointed out to a complete misunderstanding from my part. This has nothing to do with the fact that the element was dynamically generated. I got the same thing by calling fadeIn() on whatever element.
I sincerely apologize!
I still didn't get, though, why this happens
Adding elements to the DOM takes some time, miliseconds maybe, but it's still a reason for jquery not be able to find the element.
This process might be even slower if the DOM is a large html page.
Write your code like this:
var new_div = $('<div>My stuff</div>');
new_div.appendTo("#container");
setTimeout( function(){
new_div.hide().fadeIn();
} , 150); // 100 could be also good
It might be enough time for jquery to catch the element.
I would add an id to keep track of all elements I'm creating (just my preference, but it makes it easier to code it).
var new_div = '<div id="myNewDiv1" style="display:none;">My Styff</div>'
$('body').append(new_div);
$('#myNewDiv1').fadeIn();
It does seem to be a compatibility question, although I wasn't able to figure out exactly why and how to fix it.
Adding this code fixes the problem though:
jQuery.curCSS = function(element, prop, val) {
return jQuery(element).css(prop, val);
};
I have a pretty specific scenario where I would like to select all elements with jQuery, make a CSS change, save the elements, then reverse the change I made.
The Goal
I created a jQuery plugin called jQuery.sendFeedback. This plugin allows the user to highlight areas of the screen, as shown in this demo. When they submit their feedback the plugin grabs all the HTML on the page and dumps it into a callback function. Like so:
$('*').each(function ()
{
$(this).width($(this).width());
$(this).height($(this).height());
});
var feedbackInformation = {
subject: $feedbackSubject.val(),
details: $feedbackDetails.val(),
html: '<html>' + $('html').html() + '</html>'
};
if (settings.feedbackSent)
settings.feedbackSent(feedbackInformation);
The callback function accepts this feedback information and makes an AJAX call to store the page HTML on the server (this HTML includes the red box highlights the user drew on the screen). When someone from tech support needs to view the user's "screen shot" they navigate to a page that serves up the stored HTML so the developer can see where the user drew their highlights on the screen.
My original problem was that different screen resolutions made the elements different sizes and the red highlights would highlight the wrong areas as the screen changed. This was fixed pretty easily by selecting all elements on the page and manually setting their height and width to their current height and width when the user takes the snap shot. This makes all the element sizes static, which is perfect.
$('*').each(function ()
{
$(this).width($(this).width());
$(this).height($(this).height());
});
The Problem
The issue with this is that when the plugin is done transmitting this HTML the page currently being viewed now has static heights and widths on every element. This prevents dropdown menus and some other things from operating as they should. I cannot think of an easy way to reverse the change I made to the DOM without refreshing the page (which may very well end up being my only option). I'd prefer not to refresh the page.
Attempted Solution
What I need is a way to manipulate the HTML that I'm sending to the server, but not the DOM. I tried to change the above code to pull out the HTML first, then do the operation on the string containing the HTML (thus not affecting the DOM), but I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here.
var html = '<html>' + $('html').html() + '</html>';
$('*', html).each(function ()
{
$(this).width($(this).width());
$(this).height($(this).height());
});
This did not work. So either I need to be able to manipulate the string of HTML or I need to be able to manipulate the DOM and undo the manipulation afterward. I'm not quite sure what to do here.
Update
I employed the solution that I posted below it is working beautifully now. Now I am wondering if there is a way to statically write all the css for each element to the element, eliminating the need for style sheets to be referenced.
I think you are mostly on the right track by trying to make the modifications to the HTML as a string rather than on the current page for the user.
If you check this post, you might also want to follow the recommendation of creating a temporary <div> on the page, cloning your intended content to the new <div> ensuring it is invisible using "display:none." By also putting a custom Id on the new <div> you can safely apply your static sizing CSS to those elements using more careful selectors. Once you have sent the content to the server, you can blow away the new <div> completely.
Maybe?
After much pain and suffering I figured a crude but effective method for reverting my modifications to the DOM. Though I hadn't gotten around to trying #fdfrye's suggestion of cloning, I will be trying that next to see if there is a mroe elegant solution. In the meantime, here is the new code in case anyone else can benefit from it:
$('*').each(function () {
if ($(this).attr('style'))
$(this).data('oldStyle', $(this).attr('style'));
else
$(this).data('oldStyle', 'none');
$(this).width($(this).width());
$(this).height($(this).height());
});
var html = '<html>' + $('html').html() + '</html>';
$('*').each(function () {
if ($(this).data('oldStyle') != 'none')
$(this).attr('style', $(this).data('oldStyle'));
else
$(this).removeAttr('style');
});
When I'm looping through every element and modifying the css, I log the original value onto the element as data. After I assign the DOM HTML to a variable I then loop through all elements again and restore the style attribute to its original value. If there was no style attribute then I log 'none' to the element data and then remove the style attribute entirely when looping through again.
This is more performance heavy than I wish it was since it loops through all elements twice; it takes a few seconds to finish. Not horrible but it seems like a little much for such a small task. Anyway, it works. I get a string with fixed-sized HTML elements and the DOM goes back to normal as if the plugin never touched it.
